Abstract:

Disease suppressiveness against Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 in cauliflower was studied in two marine clay soils with a sandy loam texture. The soils had a different cropping history. One soil had a long-term (40 years) cauliflower history and was suppressive, the other soil was conducive and came from

Abstract:

Aims: To develop a strain-specific TaqMan® PCR method for detecting and quantifying the biocontrol strain Lysobacter enzymogenes 3.1T8. Methods and Results: A primer–probe combination was designed on the basis of a strain-specific sequence selected using REP-PCR (repetitive extragenic palindromic-po

Abstract:

Bacteria with the ability to solubilize phosphorus (P) and to improve plant health were selected and tested for growth and survival in P-rich animal bone charcoal (ABC). ABC is suggested to be suitable as a carrier for biocontrol agents, offering them a protected niche as well as delivering phosphat

Abstract:

Four Gram-negative bacterial strains, recovered from clay soils cultivated with different crops in the Netherland, were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study in order to clarify their taxonomic status. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that they belong to the genus Lys
